How it Works

Bear Spray Shack is similar to your favorite red movie rental box but for bear spray. You can rent AND return our bear spray canisters straight at the rental machine.

We geek out on technology, and the programing behind Bear Spray Shack validates that every canister rented will be un-sprayed, at full volume, and safe for re-distribution.

Walk-up Rentals

Bear Spray Shack has the first and only completely automated bear spray rental vending machines. Just walk-up and follow the on screen instructions. Check our Real Time Inventory Status before heading out.

Scan the Can

Every canister has a QR code on the side that will bring you to our On the Go page. Perfect for those who need instructions on how to use bear spray or anyone wanting a quick refresher.

Any Location Drop Off

Multiple 24/7 Shack locations means returning your can of bear spray has never been easier. Even if you’re out exploring nature from dusk to dawn, you can conveniently return your rental to any location, any time.

Don’t Skip the BS

Rentals start as low as $10.

  • It’s been a tough week in the Rockies. Two bear attacks have occurred in western national parks over the past 7 days. We were saddened to hear about the death of a missing hiker in Glacier National Park on Wednesday, whose injuries, according to park officials, were consistent with a bear encounter. Recreating in bear country comes with risks, and sometimes people are in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, there are ways to help mitigate your risk. We encourage all of you to be bear aware any time you are in bear country. Follow bear safety protocols, including making noise, hiking in groups, carrying bear spray, being aware of your surroundings, and securing all food and scented items appropriately. Please also respect current area closures at Glacier National Park in the Sperry Trailhead area.
  • On Monday, hikers on the Mystic Falls Trail near Old Faithful were injured in a human-bear conflict. Details about the hikers, injuries, and bears have not been released. While incidents like this can be scary, they are infrequent and largely preventable. There are many ways to stay safe and avoid negative interactions with wildlife while hiking. Here are the facts: - You are extremely unlikely to have a negative bear encounter in Yellowstone. The park sees more than 4.7 million visitors every year, and there are about 5 grizzly-human conflicts each year in the park. Your chances of being involved in one of these conflicts is .0001%. You have a higher chance of being struck by lightning (.006%)! - Carrying bear spray WORKS! Studies have shown that deploying bear spray is over 90% effective in stopping charging bears. - Hiking in groups reduces your chances of surprising a bear, and of a bear attack. If you are visiting Yellowstone National Park this summer and need bear spray, check out our Bear Spray Shack rental machine at the Explorer Cabins in West Yellowstone! And take a look at our Safety page at the link in bio.
